People have been recording information in the form of writing since ancient times. Latin - the language

of religion, and French the language of the rich and powerful, were the preferred languages in the Middle
Ages in Europe. Subjects were usually connected to religion, trade and government although historians
have also come across love letters which (26)

people wrote to stay in touch. After the invention of

the printing press, books and documents became readily (27)
This, together with improvements in
messages to each
education and the spread of postal services, permitted families and friends to (28)
other by letters. Maintaining contact was much easier than it had ever been.

In recent years, though, everything has changed. Mobile phones, emails and text messages (29)
have been increasingly popular are replacing letters. Why bother writing a letter when you can make a
small talk on the phone for very little cost? (30)
most people would agree that there is something

very special about receiving a handwritten letter.

The Japanese love inventing and they are very good at it. But there is one inventor who has invented

more things than anyone else in Japan - Dr. Nakamats. He has designed over 4,000 new inventions over the
last fifty years.He is most well-known for his unusual inventions.

He designed many strange things such as glasses which look like eyes so you can't notice them, shoes

which have steel springs so that you can jump in them, and a pillow which stops you from falling asleep
when you are driving.

How does he come up with these ideas? He finds listening to Beethoven helpful. But the thing that

makes him most creative is holding his breath underwater. He dives into his swimming pool everyday and
stays underwater as long as he can. He believes that less oxygen in the brain is good for new ideas. He also
dives with a penciland a notebook which he invented. He needs towrite down his ideas immediately in the
water because they disappear quickly.

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

Action movies are exciting and a lot of fun to watch, but they also involve scenes of great risk and

danger. In the language of filmmaking, dangerous actions are caled stunts. Who performs these stunts? This
work is toodangerous for regular actors. Moie companies usually hire special stunt people to stand in for

the actors in scenes that are unsafe.

Movie producers don't like to let actors do their own stunt work. If the actors injure themselves, it can
delay the production schedule. Using stunt people also saves time. Most stunt people have ycars of

experience, which enables them to perform their stunts with a minimum of risk. It would take too long to
train the actors to perform dangerous scenes safely.

Some people who love the thrillof dangerous sportssuch as skydiving or rock climbing think it would
be casy to work as a stunt person. But it isn't enough to be a risk-taker. Stunt performers also have to know

what to do if anything goes wrong.

In addition to risk-taking and meticulous attention to detail and planning, stunt work requires being in

top physical condition. Although there are afewtraining programmes for stunt performers, most provide only
an overview of the profession. Normally, the people who attend these programmes already have experience in
dangerous sports, rescue work, or the military. So the best way to prepare for acareer in stunt work is to train
in an area that involves strong physical conditioning and has an element of physical danger.
Moderm filmmaking techniques have changed the way some dangerous scenes are filmed. For example,

computer-generated images make it possible to show stunts that would be too dangerous or expensive for
real stunt people to perform. Computer-generated images are often used today to create big fight scenes, car
crashes,and explosions. However, they are not always the best choice. Many audiences want to see real
people perform actual stunts. Also, the rising popularity
of made-for-TV movies around the world ensures
industry.
that there is still plenty for stunt people in the film
